I’ll answer first: One thing that I do that helps my work environment feel a little nicer is I have a stuffed Totoro on my desk, a nice-smelling candle, and a few tasty snacks in my drawer. I also very quietly play video game music or ambience to remind myself of my hobbies that I like 😊

I just started this job, but I’m trying to make myself feel a bit more cozy, since the work can feel a bit heavy sometimes.

Curious what others do to make their environment a little nicer. :)

    I plan my diary a week in advance so I have all my lunch breaks in. I’m terrible at making myself work without breaks so the reminders help me to do it. I also listen to podcasts (or music when I’m working from home) and make myself go and eat lunch by the river so I have a solid hour away from everyone else. I struggle with being around people all day and having to constantly be ‘on’ do that time is precious.
